Mitsubishi Motors Comes Full Circle with Plenty of Goodies

Mitsubishi Motors has seen its ups and downs over thelast 100 years. More so last year, 2016, when it partnered up with Nissan-Renault. Soon after though, Mitsubishi started bursting with new vehicles, concepts, and technology that will surely skyrocket it to the forefront of the auto industry. Even today, with prospective virtual assistants, self-driving vehicles, and on-board artificial intelligence (A.I.), things are definitely picking up for Mitsubishi Motors.

In the same month,Mitsubishi released the eX concept. This, without a doubt, is the coolest vehicle design we’ve heard of thus far. Autonomous driving, A.I. in the car, virtual assistants, and electric, the eX concept sounds like a car of the future. It’s unclear whether they’ve scrapped the idea or are simply waiting, but it seems like Mitsubishi is inching closer towards it with all of the new technology they’re getting involved in.

Spring 2017

News about Mitsubishi calmed down until the spring of 2017 when they announced their 100 year anniversary, and that was coupled with their news about moving forward withhybrid SUVs and crossovers. For one thing, Mitsubishi Motors is bringing back the vehicle that started it all, theMitsubishi Model A. Partnered with West Coast Customs, the designers behind MTV’s show Pimp My Ride, Mitsubishi will be giving the Model A a new look and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) powertrain. The states have yet to see the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, but we know from the overseasrelease of the Outlander GT-PHEV that the automaker knows what it’s doing when it comes to hybrids and EVs.

We’re about to enter fall 2017, meaning we’re about to come full circle to when Mitsubishi Motors almost threw in the towel. Looking at all they’ve accomplished since then, it would seem Mitsubishi was never down – they were just saving all the good stuff for another time. What do you think about the future of Mitsubishi?
